Ventus Dashboard Overview
Table of Contents
Profile Tab
The Profile Tab is where you can view the personal details and disability details that PMC currently has on file for you. In this tab, you can also add information for a new disability and upload/view supporting documentation for any of your disabilities.
To-Do List Tab
The To-Do List tab is not used in our workflow and processes. Please do not use this tab to communicate with the PMC/your PMC coordinator.
Accommodations Tab
The accommodations tab is where you can access a list of your courses for the current and upcoming semesters and can request and check the approval status of your teaching and exam accommodations for each course you are enrolled in.
From your template accommodations within each course, you can select the teaching and exam accommodations you require and submit them for approval, or decline all accommodations for any given course.
Exams Tab
You will use the Exams tab to confirm your participation in test or exam and to select/decline the accommodations you may or may not wish to use for that particular test or exam when your course instructor(s) has issues a Notice of Examination (NoE). You are also able to opt-out of all accommodations.
The Exams tab provides details about the exam type (final, mid-term, quiz, whether online or in class), location, scheduled date, start and end times. Tests and exams will show as a categorized list:
- “Unconfirmed Exams” awaiting your confirmation
- Tests/exams to be administered by the McIntyre Exam Centre (MEC) or by your professor(s)
- Any tests/exams that you have opted to write with your class, without accommodations.
After confirming participation in your tests/exams, you can also use the Exams tab to check the approval status of your selected exam accommodations or withdraw completely from your accommodations arrangements for any confirmed exam.
Letters Tab
The Letters tab gives you access to all the Letters of Accommodation (LoA) that have been issued by your PMC coordinator for any courses in which your accommodation requests have been approved.
Note that your course instructors are issued a copy of this letter via the Ventus Factulty portal. You do not need to forward a copy to them.
Account Activity Tab
The Account Activity tab details all activities that have occured related to your accommodations management from the creation of your Ventus account onward. This tab shows you a log of who carried what accommodations activities in which courses, logging the date and time, and providing a colour-coding of the types of activity for easy visual reference.
